I have an XP VM using host-only networking, and 90% of the time everything works fine. The other 10% of the time XP can't get an IP address, complaining that it can't contact the DHCP server. Sometimes restarting Parallels a few times cures the problem, sometimes it persists until I reboot the Mac, and very occasionally it has lasted through reboots. Anyone got any ideas what might be happening? julian
